    I invite all the luminaries who think Mayweather is not great, is overrated, has a poor, cherry-picked resume - to list specific, realistic fights that Mayweather could have and should have taken, as well as different approaches to certain fights - to be regarded as an ATG and the best boxer of the current generation.

    Shoot away.

    Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito. Both have size advantages and are high volume punchers. Just when they were gaining stream, Mayweather goes on to retire for two years.

    I hate when people say he should have signed the deal with Top Rig and fought Margarito instead of Baldomir and leaving to fight Oscar.

    Margarito was and is a barely known fighter. My lady saw him in Dennys down in Chula Vista,CA and nobody even knew him except a couple of older Mexicans. Thats popular for you ehh?

    Bradley beat Casamayor and nobody cares.

    Paul Williams moved up to fight guys his own size and got worked by Lara in a robbery and Knocked out by Maravilla.

    Acelino Freitas was kayoed by Corrales who was beat to shreads by Mayweather in a fight that one of his offensive best to this day. So if he had of fought him , no credit.

    Other fighters that if he fought he would have gotten no credit because no one else does are:

    Nate Campbell
    Kendall Holt
    Junior Witter
    Amir Khan
    Kostya Tszyu ( and only because he beat Judah, Floyd and Zab are not the same people!!!)

    Tim Bradley beat most the people they say Floyd avoided and Tim Bradley still gets no love.

    He's busted roiding himself to teeth. His boxing record is irrelevant. No one discusses Lance Armstrong's record anymore.

    Cherry picking ped cheat ducked in no ordee a prime ssr, srl, durn, hearns, prior, forrest, gatti, GGG, Kovalev, ward, wlad, and within the last year, joshua, DW, fury and most importantly what's that challenged guy that ko'd DW in that nonsense sanctioned memorable bout.

    He ducked all them for a decade +. Never even made any offers to ali, rousey or holm. All while pumping illegal roids in his hands

    The above is as accurate as these clowns that troll him 24/7 on here

    Greatest of his generation yea. But too bad he did not have the competition of the 80's. That would have gained him big props.

    Pacquiao in march 2010 would be the obvious one. Cotto at 147, Marg at 147, Paul Williams. Also do it without the aid of illegal IVs.
